Live Thread: Cavs @ Lakers
2021-10-29Good evening CtB!
It’s Friday night and the Cavs are in the land of Hollywood, to take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for an “after hours” special. The Cavs are coming into the game riding high from a series of big time wins against serious playoff teams: the Atlanta Hawks, the Denver Nuggets, and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers are struggling to get going and will be looking for a jump start.
The Russell Westbrook experiment is having a rough go, and LeBron and Anthony Davis are playing bad basketball. Nevertheless, Cavs fans should expect the Lakers to be desperate for a win, thus a stern test for the kids of Cleveland. It would not be surprising for the Cavs to experience a reality check, losing this game by double digits… that’s what the betting trends are indicating, granted yours truly sucks at gambling!
Tip off is 10:30pm ET on Bally’s Sports Ohio/Great Lakes.
15-2 run to close that quarter for LA.
Hopefully we can regroup. DG, Mobley, Allen all need big minutes this quarter. Maybe all of it .
Cavs gave away a lot towards the end. Rubio sloppy.
Barf.
Melo killing us.
Wish Melo would just retire…
Killing us. Good for him.
They should just be getting right in his grill…if he wants to put it on the floor, go for it…
2 TOs out of TOs for Ricky. Goodbye lead.
Rubio giveth and then tries to do too much and taketh away
Stevens is playing because JB obviously dies not trust Cedi, Wade, or Windler. And because we failed to sign a decent wing in FA.
Yep. Another poor close to a quarter.
Stevens can supposedly guard RWB and Lebron, that’s probably the main thinking…
I’m over Brad Daughterty
I’m over Kevin Love.
man, soon as DG and Mobley had to sit, shit went sideways LMFAOOOO
Making it too easy for RWB…
Another bad close to a qtr
Rubio on fire
Ricky is dripping.
He’s so wet
Stevens brutal again. Rubio with the save
RICK3Y!!!
These guys have to love playing with Mobley…
Holey Mobley!
why is stevens playing ?????? wtf !!
HOLYYYYYYY
Beautiful ball movement.
I’m in awe
DG TO LOVE TO MOBLEY!!!!!!!!!! LOVE WHAT A PASS!!!!!
OMG!!!!
Sheeeeit
Sweet feed ricky.
Flush!!!
Oh to have a floor general. Funny how that works even if he does try to force things occasionally
RUBIO TO MOBLEY RAGE TIMEOUT!!!!!!!!
MOBLEY!!!!
OMG RICKY!!!
Beautiful
Could have used that love trey
Anyone get the impression the Lakers REALLY want to win this game?
I think Lebron REALLY wants to win it…
Russ also looks pretty intense. But that’s always the case.
Kev, gotta make that…
Yep….
WOW Love was WIDE OPEN
Seriously,who are these guys.?They don’t resemble last years group.
Young guys get better..
DG is making the leap!!!!
They aren’t last year’s group. Rubio, mark, mobley big additions
LAL rage TO. ;)
how many lakers are wearing dentures ?
Depends
even better
DG BUCKET RAGE TIMEOUT
12 points, 10 assists in 2 and half quarters
Cavs looking calm and collected to start the 3rd, well done!
Mark coast to coast wtf against the lakers and AD?!
DG feeling it!
Coast to coast Lauri!
Ricky ! +1
THE FINNISHER!
MARKKANEN COAST TO COAST!!!!!!!
I like this lineup.
Yep
DG + RUBIO = DOMINATION!!!
Rubio! Nice!
RUBIO WITH THE RIDICULOUS FINISH!!!!!!!!!! AND ONE!!!
Ricky Ricky Ricky
Can’t you see
somehow your moves
just hypnotize me
Mobley is such an all around stud. Such a high iq on both sides and skilled for such a young big.
leading the team with 16 points!
Tbh he really does remind me of kg. Thought that was the best comp before those stats started coming out. Two way team player that fits into any offense
Money Mobley
C’mon Sexton, shoot it or move it
That was awful.
he loves eating the basketball LMFAOOOOO
Mobley trey! Great pass dg to mark and mark to mobley
Mobl3!!!
DG TO MARK TO MOBLEY FOR THREE!!!!!!
Now that is a break. Never touches the floor
DG LOOK AHEAD TO MARKKANEN!!! WAY TO RUN!
didn’t get back on defense
DG FOR THREE HUGE PLAY!!!!!!!!!
Nice pass DG, Nice play Mobley
LMFAOOOOOOOO of course LeBron makes that.
Figured it was going in as soon as he released it…
yup!!! totaly!!
good shot Markkanen just missed.
Dunno if he is a catch off the move guy tho.
And great D on AD
GD it Sexton
Knew sexton was going to take that without ever passing
Wonder if Sexton ever gets tired of eating leather…
man what was that Sexton?
Brad Daugherty on it… MOVE THE BALL
What is modern hip hop? Autotuned chant rap? Is that what it is? Again watching la feed. That what passes for flow these days? Yeesh.
It is refreshing how this Cavs team doesn’t whine and cry to the refs…pretty wild to see that disparity next to this lakers team that whines every possession
Avery Bradley’s perimeter defense a difference maker in the 2nd quarter.
Damn. Sloppy all game. 25 TOs (Lakers have 15). We have missed a ton of layups.
We should be ahead.
yup, turnovers were a killer…. let the Lakers get some easy baskets
one thing you can say about the lakers.. they are the anti-future of the nba
This gives me solace.
should change their name to the rearviews or the sunsets..
Lakers have to be the uncalled forearm shove champs in the NBA right now with Lebron and Russ…no one comes close to those two…
